Happy weekend from the Riff.

After 3 years book parade is back. So much fun.

So, hear me out I absolutely want the Panthers to win tomorrow. However, come what may I will be gutted or overjoyed around 9.30pm. The best of it all is watching Panthers in the den each week with these lunatics (my family). Dad and I won’t have missed a home game or final.

I do love where I work St Lukes Marsden Park and the focus on student pillars (our capabilites for our community). I love getting to find the stories in our data to inform teaching and learning. I also love Google data studio to inform the work.

So putting it out there. About to enter 5th year at new school as part of IT. We feel prepared but also calm before storm as we consider staff, students and families. Can you ever be fully prepared for when storm hits? Looking for thoughts. Kelly Bauer Kate Kelly Angela Pecnik

As we work with our first HSC cohort St Lukes Marsden Park it is refreshing to see the work done by our teachers to assess student capabilities. This will see this cohort of students after 13 years of schooling knowing a little better who they are and what they can contribute.

As I dive into data analytics for learning I am reminded of the frameworks such as the SHEILA project which asks us to consider these dimensions: Political context Key Stakeholders Desired behaviour change Engagement strategy Internal capacity #notredame #diplomaofdataanalytics

Not even two terms in and already the data collated on capabilities for our Early Stage 1 students St Lukes Marsden Park
